                   There seems to be a feeling among some of our members
       that ORM will improve if I have no part in it. As I have always
       worked towards the betterment of ORM and the Branch, it would be
       against those principles to stand in the way of any improvement
       and therefore will not seek re-election as Editor.
                       I would like to thank the members who have supported
       me and ORM with notes, articles and the general production of our
       newsletter. In particular I thank Joe Richter, who is not a
       member, who generously gave his time every month to print QORM
       for us.

We regret that we are once more unable to present the Northern
and North Western Branch notes as they have not been received
at this time.

             NORTHERN BRANCH PRESIDENT's REPORT
            as presented at the February meeting
During the year the Branch made some progress in the long line
of things yet to be achieved. Club Rooms of a more permanent
nature are now a reality and are slowly but surely being
organized into something all members will receive much enjoyment
from. AOCP and Novice classes have been to the fore this year
with excellent results being achieved. Activity in HF and VHF
has increased not only from our members but throughout the
State. This is evidenced by the large increase in outgoing and
incoming QSL cards.
At the January Branch meeting, section 14 of our By-Laws were
brought into line with section 98 of the Divisions Articles of
Association which states " Each Institute Branch shall elect
from amongst its members a Branch Prasident and a Branch
Vice-President,    a Branch Treasurer and a Branch Secretary,     who
shall constitute a committee to govern the Branch.       The Branch
President shall also be a Vice-President of the Institute'.
As in most cases improvements are made and based on past
experience. During the last executive meeting it was discussed
and to start off the new term of office bearers, the following
positions are recommended for election:

                              EXECUTIVE

                  President
                  Vice-President    (who would be the Equipment
                                              Store Manager)
                  Treasurer
                  Secretary

                  OFFICE BEARERS

                  QSL Officer
                  Lecture Officer
                  Publicity Officer
                  WICEN
                  Educational and Librarian
                  QRM Editor
                  ORM Technical Editor
                  Club Room Manager
                  Broadcast Officer
                  Refreshments Officer

The reason for some of    the changes are that the Vice-President
who doesn't normally have much to do could take over the job
of Equipment Store Manager. The fact that the present Executive
open up the club rooms for the store and it is assumed that this
system will continue, gives we feel a closer liason to the
operation of the store and the other point is that the store is
fast becoming the main stay of the Branch.

    With regard to QRM, under the new set-up where all WIA members
    in the Post Code areas 7212 - 7304 are members of the Northern
    Branch and will automatically receive OQRM, the need for a QRM
    committee is now required. That is why we strongly recommend
    the position of Editor and Technical Editor, with the added
    recommendation that the Editor co-op two other members to
    assist. We also suggest that the North West Branch be sked to
    provide a Sub-Editor and a Technical Editor.
    The other major change is the recommended apointment of a Club
    Room Manager who would be responsible for the over-all operation
    of the Club Rooms.
    To help those who would like to take on some position but feel
    they wouldn't know what to do, the present Executive will
    prepare a set of guide lines on each position which will be
    presented as soon as possible for ratification and use by
    members.
    Some members have indicated their willingness to stand for
    positions and for your information they are:
                     Vice-President             Joe VK7JG
                     Treasurer                  Tony VK7TP

                     ORM Editor                 Mac VK7CCC
                     Education & Librarian      Brian VK7ZBY
                     Broadcast Officer          Brian VK7ZBY

    It is   anticipated that the   following will stand again:

                     QSL Officer                Col VK7LZ
                     Lecture Officer            Wal VK7ZWX
                     Publicity                  John VK7NJD
    I do not intend to stand for any position this term but will
    give any assistance I can to any member in any position.
    As Bill Tanner VK7TE has been one of the stalwarts in getting
    the Club Rooms and presently a member of the Club Room
    Committee, I will be putting Bill's name forward as Club Room
    Manager and hope he will accept.
    I want to thank all members for their co-operation during the
    year, especially those in positions who worked so hard for
    the betterment of the Branch and Hobby. It has been a most
    interesting and rewarding year.
    And finally I would like to say that your executive and
    Officers are there to try and help you and the cause of
    Amateur Radio so when they ask for your assistance dont
    hesitate.

DX notes by Col VKT7LZ.

          For the average DXer the most exciting news would be
the possibility that Clipperton Island is to be re-activated
and as the last time this Island was on the Ham bands was in
August 1958 there is certainly going to be a heck of a line-up
waiting for business to commence. The story going around is that
a group of 8 French operators and HB9MX will make up the party
and operation is due to commence on the 20th March for 7 days,
usual DXpedition frequencies will be used and QSL's are via
F6BFH, thats the story for what its worth but if you are
wanting Clipperton Island keep it in mind.
                Although its only South West Africa,                    sometimes called
Namibia its scarce enough for a mention.                        ZS3WBC will be busy
there from the lst to the 7th of March,                         QSL's to Box 1234
Walvis Bay.
           ts been mentioned that UK1KAA is operating from
Franz Joseph Land but his QTH was Leningrad so I dont know,
best QSO him and find out.
          For those lacking Syria keep a lookout for OE6DK/YK.
Horst is a member of the Peace keeping forces on the Syrian
side of the Gollan Hights and comes up occasionally on 14 MHz
SSB, at the time of writing this part of the world was coming
through long path from 0500%Z.
          Although what happened a month ago doesn't do much
for anyone, here is a list of stations logged at this QTH
(bearing in mind that several didn't get listed).

3.5 MHZ,    CW     - KX6DC,    UL7GW,     W,    VE and JA.
           SSB  - KG6RT, W and JA.
           "
           I only listened on this band around 1000 to 11002
             on a couple of occasions.
7 MHz,     CW      - EI3CT,    FM@COO,       N4ZC/Kure Isl.,           KV4CI,    W@NCA/HC1,
                     VP2MUZ,    KH6,    W,     VE and many Europeans.
          SSB      - CE@AE, N4ZC/Kure Isl. GW3AX, GW4NZ, XEI1EL,
                     DL, G, and JA.
                All stations were heard between 0800 and 0930Z so
                there is plenty of scope here for listenars who
                want to burn the midnight oil.
14 MHz,    CW      - You'll have to ask Snowy VK7CH what happened
                     here, all I QSO'ed was HS5FXT, ZB2AV.
           SSB     - Europe,    EAG6EW,      GI4GPC,      GI4EPK,      HB@LL,    LX2LX,
                     OY3H, MID, 9HI1FF. and most European countries
                     are easily workable.
                    Africa,     CN8CX,       EA80Z,      H5COA,    HSFXT,      ZET7AV

                     9J2GJ,    9L1CA.
                     South America,          VP8PT,      HF@POL,       8R1Q and the usual
                     run of OA,     HC,      HK,   CP,    CE,    LU,   VYV,   and ZP    stations.
                     North America, this area was wide open most nights
                     local time with, FG, FM, FS, J3, KP4, TI, HI, VP2
                     XE, 8P6 all for the asking.
                     Asia, CR8, JY, OE6DK/YK, U0O5, UM@, UL7,                       VS6,
                     4X4, 9K2DX, 9M6, 9V1 were all logged.

                      SSb and CW. W's come through from 2300 to 0100Z.
                      KZ5BA was S9 from 0300 to 0500Z on the 18th of

                      February. Europeans were copied at 1200Z one night.
                      The Kure Island DXpedition was heard on SSB on
                      several occasions.
     28 MHz,          WABVOJ/Kure,       WBBKLN/Kure,           KG6,   KH6,   VE,     VK,   JA,   W,

     VHF notes by Joe VK7JG.
     6_metres has been very quiet with my last opening on 30th Jan.
     with VK4ZRF. Previous to this it was open to ZL on 22nd Jan.
     when 3 ZL's were worked as well as Eric VK5LP.
                  Over the past several years I have noticed that when
     6 metres    is open to ZL you can usually also work into VK5,
               Dont forget that the equinox is approaching and we
     could get some T.E.P. openings to the Northern Hemisphere.
     2 metres has been just the opposite with the band being open
     continuously for the past 5 days (16 to 20th Feb.), the
     Geelong repeater VK3RML could be worked mobile from almost
     anywhere in Launceston and from home the N.W. repeater was
     workable for the first time.   At the bottom end of the band
     Kevin VK7ZAH and Daniel VK7DA have been active and on the 16th
     a VK6 was heard, Kevin called him but conditions did not last
     long enough to have a contact.       73 Joe

                      VK7 W.I.A. QSL BUREAU

             This is intended as a guide should you wish to use
the   services of   the Wireless   Institute of Australia QSL Bureau.
          When having QOSL cards printed do not choose a heavy-
weight type of card and make sure they are no larger than
54"x 3%". Outward cards larger than this can not be accepted
in future. There are two reasons for this request, firstly,
the postage depends on the weight and with the present high
postage rates we have to watch this carefully. We can send
70 normal cards     for the same cost as only 50/60 oversized or
overweightones. Secondly, a big card will not fit in a normal
sized envelope which means special envelopes which cost more,
and they do not pack easily in bulk with other cards which
will probably result in damage to the card.
          There is no charge for inward cards but outwards
are 2¢ each (non-members 5¢). This covers cost of postage,
envelopes, P.C. Box rental and other incidental expenses.
             Please sort your cards alphabetically into prefixes
(Australia and U.S.A. into call areas). Writing the call sign
on the back of the card and enclosing a slip showing the
number of cards     (if there are many)      will help to make the job
a bit easier.
           A number of DX stations have QSL managers these
days, so 1if you are given any special instructions at the
time of the QSO, always show this on the back of the card,
viz. "CT2BS   wvia WA4CAD". I will then know to send it to
the WA4 bureau. Unless it is sent as directed it is doubtful
whether you would get a reply.
          Inward cards for the North and North West Branches
are sent to VK7LZ and VK7MZ respectively shortly before their
monthly meeting dates and may be collected there. Cards for
members in the South are taken along to the meetings. If you
do not attend any of these meetings please try and arrange for
some one to collect them for you. Let me know if you do not
want your cards and they can be destroyed.
             Current Call Books are held at the Bureau and the
full QTH of any station may be obtained from me.
             The Bureau address    is,   G.P.0O.   Box 371 D,    Hobart 7001.
but I would prefer that cards,       enquiries etc. be sent to my
home address,    95 Wentworth St.,       Bellerive 7018,    Phone 44   2854.

                         IDENTIFY YOURSELF
         At the Advisory Council meeting, held on Saturday
25th of February, reports indicated that the operating
standards of amateurs have degraded to a point where it is
now common to hear a QSO without any form of identification
and quite a few with insufficient identification. This is
particularly noticeable on the VHF FM channels.
         Please do not follow bad examples and remember to
identify yourself at the beginning and end of a QSO as well
as every 5 minutes.

It seems Brian VK7ZBY has a drink problem. When out sailing
with Mike VK7FB, Brian fell in it, the drink that is. It
must have been a big glass Brian.
The WIA Broadcast on the 19th February was heard far and
wide, a inversion to VK3 gave them a good copy on our
Broadcast and quite a few called in for the call-back.
I believe that sometime in March Chris VK7UX will be here
for a holiday from Botswana, if so that will be the time
to organize a sked for that country.
Most peculiar are the sounds emanating from the phone when
you dial 445000, sounded like SSB to me.

5 AMP REGULATED POWER SUPPLY,   VARIABLE FROM 6 - 16 VOLT.
This circuit first appeared in QRM in October 1974 and as
I am often asked for a photo copy it was thought a good idea
to print the circuit. The original design is by John Reynolds
VK3ZMU,   the overload protection circuit was modified by
John VK7JV.

                  HF - VHF DIP OSCILLATOR
Reprinted from Eastern Zone News.           by Ray Price VK3AWQ

         The writer had on many occasions, built up GDO's
from circuits out of various magazines, only to £ind them
either not oscillating at VHF frequencies or so full of
false dips that they were virtually unusable,
         The following circuit is of one that seems to
behave itself on all frequencies, its not an original
eireuit, rather a modification of ether circuits, but it
works well for me. Let's hope it does the same for you.

         I used an OC1l71 transistor because it was in the
junk box, a AF1l4, 5, 6 should do just as well. The coils are
eut and try, depending on the former and wire size.      I used
%" o0.d. formers out of an old transceiver, but hypodermic
syringe bodies make beaut formers.
          The 144 Mdz coil is 2 turns wound on a 5/16 drill
shank with legs 1%" long. The 72 MHz coil is 3 turns on a
7/16" drill shank with legs 1%" long. 18g wire was used.
For the HF coils , wind about 15 turns on a %" o.d. former
with 26g wire and listen on your general coverage receiver.
Onece this coil is calibrated the rest is easy, either more
or less turns depending on the coverage required.
          A VU meter was used,     obtained from a place in
Little Lonsdale St. for $1.50.
         Well hop to it and see if this gadget works as well
for you as it does for me. Dont forget to keep all leads

      The POT CORE is an excellent choice of coil form when a great deal of inductarice is needed
using a very minimum amount of space. An inductance up into the Henries can be achieved using
a POT CORE of considerably less than one inch in diameter. They are used extensively for filter
work in the audio and kilohertz region, although they have many other applications ranging into
the megahertz frequencies, such as small signal transformers, pulse and broadband transformers,
as well as in tuned circuits of all descriptions.
    The winding procedure is fast and simple. The coil is wound on a seperate nylon bobbin (which
is supplied) and is then inserted inside the POT CORE. Since the coil is encapsulated, it will be
completely shielded and will be absolutely free of any stray coupling or interference from adjacent
circuitry. Very close tolorances can be obtained to achieve a target performance which will re-
quire little or no trimming. Excellent 'Q' and stability can be expected.
    We are now able to offer this item to the radio amateur in smali quantities. Four sizes in the
  77 material are currently available. Other sizes and materials may be offered at a later date.
 The POT CORE assembly is supplied complete with the two core-halves, a nylon bobbin and a
 nylon mounting bolt including nut and washer. Use the formula and the 'turns vs. wire-size' chart
    below to select the proper size core for your application

1         Ferrite-Beads are little dowel-like devices made from ferrite materials of various magnetic properties. They are
    electrically equivalent to a tiny RF choke when slipped over an electrical conductor or a component lead. They
    offer a simple, convenient, inexpensive and yet a very effective method of RF-shielding, RF-decoupling and
    parasitic suppression.
         High frequency noise is apt to be generated in various parts of any high frequency circuit and most common
    suspects are power supply leads, ground connections and inter-stage connections. Also, conductors adjacent to the
    chassis, to each other, and to other components offer a convenient path for the transfer of RF energy from one
    circuit to another. The inductance and the distributed capacitance of some conductors can also support spurious
    oscillations in the higher frequency ranges.

         Ferrite-Beads offer little, or no impedance to the lower frequencies and DC. At higher frequencies the
    impedance will increase appreciably and will tend to reduce or dissipate the unwanted signals. Because the
    Ferrite-Bead operates as a bulk device, it cannot be detuned by stray capacitance and it does not have to be
    grounded. It can easily be added to any electronic circuit simply by slipping it over the conductor or component
    lead suspected of carrying the troublesome interference.
         The point at which attenuation becomes effective will depend upon the choice of bead-material. As shown in
    the material-comparison-chart, the #64 material will offer the greatest impedance above 200 MHz. The #43
    material is the most effective between 50 and 200 MHz. and the # 73 material is recommended for 50 MHz. and
    below. The FB-75B-101 Ferrite Bead will offer greatest attenuation at about 10 MHz. The attenuation above 500
    MHz. becomes relatively flat for all materials, although the DB level may be different for various materials.

          A variety of types and sizes of Ferrite-Beads are in supply. The most popular being the ‘101" type. which will
    fit picely over a #18 AWG conductor, and the ‘801" type, which will accept a #12 AWG wire. The FB-43-2401 is
    another Ferrite-Bead product which is widely used in the construction of ‘ferrite-loaded’ transformers, such as
    those found in the TRW-100 and the TRW-320 solid state power amplifiers. We also supply the 2-hole Ferrite-Bead
    and the 6-hole Ferrite-Bead, which are excellent little devices for wide-band chokes, baluns and transformers.
